Meredith was not afraid of color, texture, or great design elements so this wedding really was full of them. Timeless with bright punches, her impeccable and ethereal style radiated throughout the event.

Isha Foss did an impeccable job as always with the florals.
Let’s have a moment for this CAPE! What a great way to give the feel of a veil without the hairpiece.
Bold pop of underrated marigold. Love it.
Meredith ‘s mother was a style icon the weekend of the wedding.
Whenever possible we love the extra texture of a good charger.
Give us all the romantic ribbon on a bridal bouquet!
This is such a fun touch…Meredith wanted to use her old Law School books so we decided to alphabetize escort card bookmarks within them as the seating display.
The earrings, the light… everything!
Party dress moment!
More proof of cape greatness!
Love a great father daughter dance, and this father ended up becoming one of our grooms!
Abby and Jordin celebrated their big day at the always elegant Williamsburg Inn. Abby wanted soft spring tones and timeless touches. Luke and Ashley photography perfectly captured the entire day.

The colors in this certainly say “spring” and we love adding personal touches to a brides bouquet!
Abby’s mother was a so stylish in this feathered gown. LOVE.
Love seeing a daddy look at his daughter as a bride.

Alisha and Sam planned their wedding with us through a deployment, and while coordinating a move to another country! When the day finally came, her boho Keswick Vineyards wedding was captured by Lia Everette photography so nicely!
We are huge advocates for a first look with your dad!
Great way to add personal touches to gifted items that are to be worn for the wedding.
Stunning!
You can FEEL the joy in this image!
Love the color scheme here. Jewel tones but with a good dose of whites and blush so they don’t feel overly heavy.
Keswick is always gorgeous!
Velvet everywhere.
This seating board featured watercolor ombre place cards.
Vineyards and mountains. Always the perfect shot.
This couple wasn’t big cake eaters, but they loved custom flavored donuts.
Madi and Zach were such a fun couple to work with! They brought us to Tennessee to an incredible Chattanooga venue to craft their boho fall wedding. In true SPE fashion we ensured it had lots of touches of their personality throughout and Arlene VanHook was there to capture the joy!

The light here is perfection.
Love different bridesmaids dresses to add depth and personality, perfect for a boho wedding.
the colors are perfect for this outdoor all wedding!
Don’t underestimate a fun layer to add on for photos and to keep you warm!
These colors came togther so well!
Sweet, casual, and reflective of the season.
When you are making sure your bride and groom get their favorite drinks and stay warm during portraits :)

Claire and Tim had an intimate November brunch wedding in Williamsburg. She wanted soft colors and lots of delish brunch favorites. Erika Mills Photo caught all the pictures.
April and Danny were very laid back and an absolute joy to work with. This Seattle- based couple was very eco- conscious, and planet friendly choices were made throughout the event. From her secondhand gown, to composting stations, and her ethically sourced diamond, we loved finding ways to ensure their wedding reflected their values! Lakeside was a great venue and Keefer Photo captured all the fun!
Katie and Stephen are a fun loving Denver couple that wanted a non-traditional autumn wedding with lots of bright pops of color for their Richmond wedding at the Civil War Museum/ Tredegar Iron Works.

Beth and Scott wanted to fill their wedding with touches of their love of outdoors and hiking. We brought in lots of fern leaves, river rock place cards, and a trail themed seating chart among other things. Photography by Keefer photo!
Beth wanted LOTS of ferns and greenery in her first bouquet (yes she had two! a great option if you cannot decide what you want)
Perfect cufflinks for a pilot!
Bright accents for the non-traditional ceremony!
Perfect cake for a woodsey wedding!
We had a calligraphy artist write guests names on river rocks as place cards. The fern front on each place setting added a pop of texture and color.
Creating this seating chart was so fun! Ombre shades of green envelopes held cards that directed guests to their “trail” (table).
We can bustle in our sleep.
When your bride is a bachata dancer, the couple is sure to be a hit at their first dance!
Irish heritage came into play here with dinner entertainment of local Irish dance troops!
